The 10 City Initiative

Strategic Cities

The 10 City Initiative is a plan to see two church-planting missionaries in each of these key cities in Northeast China: Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, Tangshan, Tianjin, Dalian, Yantai, Weifang, Jinan, and Qingdao.

Our hope is that each of these missionaries will start a church-planting movement that trains national leaders to not only reach the city they are in but also their province and beyond. The 6 provinces represented by these 10 cities are: Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Tianjin, and Shandong.

The total population for these cities is around 88 million and the population of the surrounding area is around 295 million souls.

We Need Men And Women

We need men and women to surrender their lives to take the gospel to these places. There are incredible opportunities in these places—we just need a willing servant with a heart fully surrendered over to God.

Will you pray with us for the millions of souls who need the gospel?

Will you consider going and being a missionary?
